Ways to Contribute

Concrete actions you can take today to help the community grow.

Organize an event

Host a meetup, workshop, or demo day. We help with logistics and promotion.

Record and archive community talks

Capture talks on video so the community can learn asynchronously.

Pick up a bounty

Tackle open tasks posted by the community — from code to design to outreach.

Help with A/V at events

Run cameras, microphones, or streaming setups at community gatherings.

Write content / documentation

Document processes, write recaps, or create guides for newcomers.

Mentor newcomers

Welcome new members, answer questions, and help people find their footing.

Principles

The values that guide how we grow and govern the community.

Serve before you lead

Start by contributing. Earn trust through consistent, humble service — not self-promotion.

No single point of failure

Term limits and shared responsibility prevent burnout and concentration of power.

Easy in, easy out

Low barrier to start contributing. Graceful offboarding when life changes.
